"In the process of recording the history of the Roman Empire, from the death of Marcus Aurelius to the accession of Gordian III, Herodian makes his characters respond to the same situations in similar or different ways. This book shows that each reign in Herodian's History is creatively mapped onto ever-recurring narrative patterns. It argues that patterning is not simply decorative in Herodian's work but constitutes a crucial conceptual and methodological tool for writing interpretative history. Herodian deserves credit as an original and independent author. A careful consideration of the formulaic nature of his historiography indicates that there is more artistry in his composition than had previously been discerned"

La "Storia dell'Impero dopo Marco" di Erodiano è l'unica opera storiografica relativa agli eventi del III secolo d.C. che ci è giunta integralmente ma non ha ancora ricevuto adeguate attenzioni, poiché il suo autore è stato ritenuto in passato uno storico di scarso valore. Erodiano appare invece uno storico dotato di una spiccata autonomia di giudizio che offre chiavi interpretative originali sulla storia che va dalla morte di Marco Aruelio (180 d.C.) all'avvento di Gordiano III (238 d.C.) e coglie molto bene i sintomi di una crisi già in atto, che appare ai suoi occhi senza sbocchi e senza rimedio.
